CODE RED (Book 1)

Heavy Rain

My eyes opened slowly. Vision blurred and unfocused as the light crept into the bedroom window. It wasn't as bright as the sun would've been, my guess would be it was cloudy outside or it was just raining.

Just as I had guessed I heard the slight pattering of droplets raining down against the window. I sighed to myself in pain. My head was killing me and the noise of the rain was only heightened to an extent where it was like I had head phones on listening to loud music but this was absolutely annoying nothing great about it. Almost every noise made my head ache more.

I felt sick and weak at the moment like I hadn't eaten for a whole day. I reluctantly turned on my back turning my head to focus my blurry vision on a familiar night stand with my phone laying atop the surface.

I wondered what time it was and what had happened to me to end up feeling so terrible. I remembered that today was Tuesday, I had to be late for school if not already.

I still wasn't certain what room I was in but I had thought it was my own my head was to much for me to think right now so I let the thought go. I sat up in bed putting my sock covered feet onto the floor feeling my head ache at the mistaking movement.

I grimaced and ran a shacking hand threw the strands before slamming it atop my phone. I felt so weak I didn't want to move my limbs or the rest of my body but I needed to figure out what time it was.

Turning my phone on with a shaky finger I saw the time along with a line of missed calls and a bunch of added phone numbers with texts from last night.

I paused and my eyes widened at the messages:

Kate-" Nice party last night, am I right!?"

Samuel- "Crap man! You were off the hook! You're definetly okay in my book!"

Trisha- "You have to hang with us sometime. Have another party you are one cool dude!"

Nick- "Last night was crazy but you were even crazier call me sometime."

Lock-" You did good last night, I hope you had fun...I know I did... you're not a bad kisser I know you enjoyed what we did we need to do it again sometime. Call me whenever."

There were a lot more messages then just the few that I had read over. My thumb scrolled threw them deleting what I could from the bottom half before getting to the top my finger felt like it was cramping up from pressing so quickly. That was how many messages I had along with a bunch of new phone numbers that I also deleted. But still the message Lock had texted me still was on my phone staring back at me

My breath caught in my throat as my mouth hung open in shock. I turned off my phone and placed it on the bed somewhere, to distracted to see where it had gone. My hands rested in my lap as I looked up into the mirror across from the bed.

I was a mess. A pale face with dark circles under my eyes stared back at me, disheveled hair and my black T shirt was hanging off of one of my shoulders to reveal a red mark.

I squinted the best I could with my blurred eyes to see a hickey." I gasped not believing what it was. Had I- Did we - oh shit!"

Did Lock and I have s-

My words were halted as Alex came into the room stopping in his steps to look at me.

I didn't know what to say I was sorry for what I had done but what had happened last night hadn't been my fault, I was under the influence of alcohol feeling somber for - memories of last night came into my head and as they did I felt heart broken, hurt, betrayed, and angry.

I glared at him as his eyes met mine with surprise. He was surprised to see me awake.

Gareki-

Did you have fun last night. I interrupted him in a steady but obviously angered voice.
